Says an exchange, Blaine has
been tdancing on the green" in
Scotland, while Sherman was in
dulging in few "shuffies" on the
Ohio platform
The Blaine Republicans in Ohio
are getting ready to knife Sherman,

The Democrats of Ohio are be-
coming aggressive, and are now
sanguine of carrying the State and

do, won't that "bust'' Sherman's
Presidential boom.
The Gazette editor, whoever he
is, threatens to throw filth at the

our young Republican friend,
Hon. Jas. B. Menager, of this city,
is getting quite a boom in the Re
publican press of the State for Gov
ernor in 1888. That is all it will
